The Sterling Area Revisited: The Political Economy of International Economic Disintegration​

Picture
Principal Investigator: Jack Seddon
Co-Investigator: Alan de Bromhead
​Researchers:  David Jordan and Frank Kennedy
Funded by: The Economic and Social Research Council (Grant No. ES/R005435/1)

Project description: The project, which runs from 2018 to 2021, involves collecting a range of data on the Sterling Area, a system rooted in nineteenth century British economic hegemony that represented the largest and most important multilateral monetary and trading system in the world at the end of World War II. The aim of this data gathering exercise is to explore the links between politics and economics in processes of international economic disintegration and to situate the Sterling Area experience within the broader post-war context of rising economic nationalism and shifting international economic alignments.

Project Outputs: The Fate of International Monetary Systems: How and Why They Fall Apart, Perspectives on Politics, July 2020.
